No more speedruns: Better security training (with what you have) - Susanna Haavisto
Disobey 2026 · Main Stage
In this insightful talk from Disobey, Susanna Haavisto, Customer Education Manager at Hoxhunt, tackles a pervasive challenge in organizational security: the "speedrunning" of cybersecurity awareness training. Drawing a humorous parallel to video game speedruns, Haavisto highlights how many employees rush through mandatory security modules, rendering the training largely ineffective. Her central thesis is that traditional, compliance-first training models fail to drive actual behavior change, leaving organizations vulnerable to human-centric risks.

A vendor education manager from Hoxhunt delivers a polished pitch for behavior-based security awareness training dressed as a conference talk. The content is competent and internally consistent, but it's a repackaged version of arguments the awareness training industry has been making for a decade — Ebbinghaus forgetting curve, microlearning cadence, BJ Fogg-adjacent ability/motivation/trigger framing — with Hoxhunt's product philosophy baked into every prescription.
